Beaune Travel Guide

 10 Reviews  Choir hanging of the life of the Virgin The works of art inside the church Notre Dame are mainly 15th century. One admires the frescos, the statues, and the famous tapestries recalling the life of the Virgin. It is a whole of five tapestries called “Hanging of the life of the Virgin” hung in the... 

 6 Reviews  I would say that this is a bit touristy, but well worth the 10 Euro. The visit starts with a short tour and then you will have the oppurtunity to taste 15 wines. The wines are from all over Burgundy, we had wines from Chablis, Fixin, Vosne-Romanee, Beaune, etc. The quality of the wines vary, but it... 

 5 Reviews  Les poulets rôtis à la broche se trouvent sur de nombreux marchés mais ici la qualité Poulet de Bresse ajoute un plus. En face des poulets nous avons trouvé de beaux paniers tressés dont un panier à bois qui nous a accompagné chez nous. 

 5 Reviews  On the tour we stopped at the vineyards where several aspects of growing vines were explained. Also influences of the weather, types of grapes etc. The classification system, grand: premier etc were explained. This part of the tour was very interesting and gave a lot of insight into where the... 

 4 Reviews  Le charme de Beaune réside aussi dans ses remparts qui remontent au 15e siècle, les tours du 16e et les bastions polygonaux du 17e. L'enceinte subsiste sur les 3/4 du périmètre et est accessible aux promeneurs. La photo montre une des 4 grosses tours à bossages. ========================== The... 

 4 Reviews  Near Saint-Léger-sous-Beuvray, an easy day trip from Beaune or Dijon, is Bibracte, a marvelous, open museum of Gaulish life set on a hillside that holds an archeological dig you may tour. Bibracte is the reason you go to St. Leger and the museum is not in the town but on Mont Beuvray, a few... 

 1 Review and 122 Opinions  Our choice of this 4* hotel was based on its position just at the edge of the centre of Beaune at... 

 1 Review  Pour suivre la demande d'une clientèle internationale les hôtels, même ceux de la France profonde, ont abandonné le typique et léger petit déjeuner français pour proposer un buffet dont les prix se rapprochent des 20 € dans les hôtels 4*. Pour moi qui me contente d'un café, d'une baguette ou d'un... 

 2 Reviews  I would like to confirm a very positive review here of this restaurant PIQU'BŒUF located on the circular boulevard. From the centre of Beaune it is at about 5 minutes walking. It is mainly a grill restaurant but not only. What is special is that the grill does not burn charcoal but wood on a... 

 1 Review  We had very busy day exploring the Beaune area searching for chateaus and an abbey so we returned in the evening very tired. We decided to eat near the hotel and use another of Madame Grillon's recommendations. We got the 18.50 euro menu, the cheapest and it was delicious. There are several other... 

 1 Review  This restaurant opened one year ago and has already acquired a good reputation among the people from the neighbourhood. It occupies two old cellars and is reached by a corridor and staircase at nr. 29 of the rue Carnot in the centre. We arrived at the beginning of the evening so that we still got a... 

 1 Review  We were in la Rochpot to visit the chateau and afterwards decided to drive down into the town to see what was there. It was small but quaint and charming. Here is my journal entry for lunch. "We drove into town and photographed the church and started our daily search for lunch. Immediately... 

 1 Review  Dame Tartine is a pleasant restaurant around the corner from the Hospices of Beaune (Hotel Dieu) and across from the Tourist Information Bureau. The food is definitely not gourmet, but it is tasty enough for the price and the service is usually very friendly. I qualify this a bit since we once had...
